Takara - World Smallest Transformers Series I - Soundwave

Continuation of my featuring of World Smallest Transformers. This is from my one and only Series I collection which I bidded on eBay around 2006. This one here cost me aroun BND$70 !!! I just have to get them when it was listed. Luckily I won the bidding. Now you can't even find this anywhere even on eBay.

This got to be the smallest Transformers in the collection. Ravage, who will appear in 2009 Transformers 2 movie.

Takara - World Smallest Transformers Series II - Megatron

As promised, this is Megatron, my second World Smallest Transformers Series II collection.
I will let the picture do the talking.

Takara - World Smallest Transformers Series II - Optimus Prime

This is the World Smallest Transformers range from Takara and certified by the World Guinness Record. As you noticed, I mentioned only the name Takara and not the usual TakaraTomy. Wanna guess ? Well back then Takara was still an individual company before it take over Tomy around March 2006. After the merging they are now one of the largest toys company in Japan only to be shadowed by Bandai.

This was sold in Chong Hock Music Center back then around 2004. Each costing only $15.90. Now as you can see, price for this stuff had sky rocketed at eBay and other collectors section.

For the next few days, I will feature all the Transformers I had collected for this ranges. Todays featuring will be Optimus Prime.

Misc - Namata Biscuit

OK, this is something not link to my hobby collection but it is something that caught my attention when I was shopping at a local supermarket recently with my wife. Check out the cool color of its packaging and all those japanese words that I don't even understand ! The manufacturer is called Namata and apparently they are licensed to produced these delicious food in Thailand. You guys got to try the green one, best of the best almong the three.

That little Optimus Prime is one of my favorite Transformer collection. It is from maker Takara who makes ChoroQ, this one is one of their discontinued Transformer ChoroQ Optimus Prime, cost about $20 from Japan.

p.s my first Transformers post !!!

Advan Super Racing Ver.2 Wheels in 1:1 & 1:24 scale

This is a collection of a set of 1:24 wheels from Aoshima. The maker of the actual wheel is from ADVAN and this particular model is called Super Racing Ver.2. Reason to show this to you guys is because I actually own 1 set of the real rims. And it is nice to see hobby maker made a 1:24 scale of it. I decided to grab one and keep it for collection sake. Colors are different though, mine actual wheels were sprayed in Gun Metal Grey whereas the Aoshima 1:24 is Racing Red in colors. I will probably spray it to match my wheels colors soon.

One of the reason I bought it is because of the nicely printed box
